Totally agreed feels like they should no longer be part of the holy trinity if they so focused on alyx and Travis Scott collabs.
I love the Royal Oak but that they focused on the stupid marvel and code instead of other highlights idk feels like I should buy the 16202 a Nashville watch with the 50th anniversary for $75k and then be done. If I ever have to much money I’ll buy a black ceramic RO but other than that what else is there really

Yea. It’ll be interesting to see where AP is in 20 years. To hear FHB talk about how no one wanted to retail or buy an AP 25 years ago, who knows what will happen in another 25.

I don’t think the new CEO will be any different. Sales and Marketing background. Zero experience in watches, came from perfume and hair care. It’s really quite disappointing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the AP fad passes like Panerai did and the watches are significantly discounted in the next 2 decades.
